2. Go to the Domains section and click Zone Editor.

Common DNS Records

• A Record – Points your domain to an IPv4 address.
• AAAA Record – Points your domain to an IPv6 address.
• CNAME Record – Creates an alias for another domain.
• MX Record – Directs email to your mail server.
• TXT Record – Used for domain verification, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
